Saving for Retirement – Little Things Count

People often think it is difficult to save for retirement because of today’s pressing demands. But little things can really count.

What if you put some of the money you spend going out to dinner, movies, or impulsive buying towards your retirement savings? It might not seem worthwhile at first, but the little tradeoffs can really add up. In fact, one of the easiest ways to save this money is to save it from the start. Chances are, you won’t even notice the small difference.

Or, if you participate in an employer-sponsored plan, boost your current contribution by as little as 2% and it could grow your retirement savings much more. If your company doesn’t offer one, consider saving for retirement through an IRA California Community CU.
